This course examines the manifold ideas and applications of virtual reality (VR) in relation to cinema and other visual media. The course questions how the emerging technology/medium of VR can reshape and reorganize the conventional conceptions of cinema and related media. It aims to explore the historical, social, cultural, political, ethical and artistic implications of VR in order to interrogate the popular notion of VR as the “next” cinematic medium or the “meta” technology for the much-anticipated metaverse. In this interdisciplinary theory-practice course, students will not only analyze various examples of VR, but also complete several hands-on activities to create their own version of VR (No prior experience required).

Caught between his two “homelands”, Joseon and America, and between his self and his beloved, a noble lady who personifies the “ideal” Joseon, Eugene finds himself at an impasse. In this sense, Choi comes to embody the modern Joseon subject living a “liquid life” (Bauman), whose identity is characterized by precariousness and uncertainty. This paper analyzes how the politics of individual identity and national identity operate through the characters’ romantic engagements. While Eugene and other “liquid” characters like him may take advantage of the quickly disintegrating traditional social boundaries in the midst of modernization, their liminal identities, however, are considered to be “disabilities” that need to be “cured” for Joseon’s idealized future. Eugene and the other male characters’...
